That's very badass

60 - Witness 2
If it was the usual Roland, at this time he would have to say, 'It's so popular. 'But at this time he didn't have this kind of thought, but felt that the whole room was full of oppression.

It was from the Duke of Osborne, a strong man.

He didn't understand why the Duke of Osborne did this, but he knew that there must be some purpose in it, but he couldn't understand it now.

As the Duke of Osborne sat down, the oppression immediately dissipated. Looking at this gray-haired but hale and hearty old man, Roland did not choose to speak rashly, but waited quietly.

Duke Osborne looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. In fact, he was not dissatisfied with Baron Leon, but deliberately created a strict atmosphere; because he didn't know Roland's character, he could only maintain a domineering And harsh image, to let some people know that lying is not a good choice.

Of course, there are also some dissatisfaction with Baron Leon's slack, but that's all.

He picked up the tea and took a sip, with an imperceptible disappointment flashing in his eyes, before he said, "Tell me about Viscount Whitnet."

This unexpected beginning made Roland somewhat at a loss for what to say, so he took out a letter written by Andal from his body and handed it to Duke Osborne with both hands raised.

Duke Osborne took the letter and opened it, only to see it read:

Pay due respect to the Duke of Osborne.

Thank you very much for interceding for me last time in Borean Hold.But what you need to know is
With regard to Jeremy Knight under the command of Viscount Whitnet, brought a promise about him, the promise is as follows:.
It was well-regulated, and it looked like it was written by an upright former knight, and he had heard about Viscount Whitnet's promise to the Baron, and many things that had not been fulfilled.

Although there is no substantive documentary proof, when there are too many things, there must be a reason.

According to his subjective judgment, this matter is probably
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little headache. The gap between Viscount Whitnet and his ancestors was too great. He looked more like a businessman than an honest nobleman.

Duke Osborne sighed, and Baron Leon knew that this matter might be true. In order to avoid being enveloped by anger, he moved back indistinctly.

Roland, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He thought that the Duke of Osborne didn't believe in him. Speaking of himself, he would also trust his vassals more, rather than someone fleeing from further north to the North Wind. The words of the mercenary leader of the fortress.

Looking at the two with different expressions, Duke Osborne continued to ask: "Then, Roland, tell me what you think of Viscount Whitnet."

Facing some free questions, Roland couldn't refuse. Thinking of what Baron Leon said, he decided to tell the truth.

"Viscount Whitnet is a very shrewd person, he will hardly make a loss-making business."

"That's a good summary." Duke Osborne nodded amusedly, and Roland's thoughts coincided with his own.

"Then tell me why you came to me."

"Yes, my lord." After Roland finished speaking, he began to think, and later, he spoke directly:
"It's like this, my lord. This matter may be a bit long, but if you don't explain the beginning and the end, you may not be able to explain the whole thing." Speaking of this, Roland thought of the missing troll again.

"Because of this matter, until now, I still don't understand it."

Although Duke Osborne felt a little strange, he still motioned for him to continue talking.

He also wanted to know what would make a person unable to understand. This time, he was looking forward to it.

Then Roland explained how they obtained the land, annihilated the troll stronghold, found strange things from the seizure, and did not wait for the troll's revenge. They chose to enter the woods before the heavy snow could not walk completely to investigate, and then found another An intact troll stronghold, but abandoned.

All these doubts weighed in their hearts, knowing that there was heavy snow in spring, and because of territorial disputes, they were forced to leave here, go deep into the Evernight Forest, and find the city of trolls and the trolls that were missing.

"So, did these trolls disappear out of thin air?"

The serious Duke Osborne possessed a certain power. When he looked at anyone, that person would bear the pressure.

"I don't know, my lord, I have already arranged for someone to investigate. But I didn't wait for the result, so I set off and came here."

Hearing Roland's answer, Duke Osborne was a little dissatisfied. The movements of so many aliens were unknown, so how could they leave without waiting for the result.

"How can you put such an important thing behind?"

Facing Duke Osborne's somewhat angry tone, Roland could only smile wryly and said, "My lord, it's like this. We searched the entire Evernight Forest and the grassland of the troll city, but there is no trace."

"So we can only carry out a more detailed search slowly, in order to find out where they left from."

Duke Osborne was still very satisfied with this answer. If he just allowed the foreigners to hide nearby and came here in advance to seek help and support, what would be the difference between that and him going to develop his own territory?
Does a duke need someone to find out that there are aliens there?This kind of thing can be known by just asking around.

And according to Roland, there are no more trolls in that land now, so he just came here, but he still didn't relax his vigilance.

He likes this rigorous style very much.

Therefore, he decided to go straight to the next question.

"I heard from Baron Leon that your pioneering territory is very big? How big is it?"

"Because there is no specific measurement, I can only give a rough idea, but the actual situation is decided to be more than this." After finishing the foreshadowing, Roland threw out a number.

"Ten thousand square kilometers."

The transparent man Baron Leon took a deep breath when he heard this number.

It was only when Roland remembered that there was such a person, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

But for Baron Leon, this is probably the legendary as long as I am not embarrassed, no one will know.

The Duke of Osborne noticed Roland's subtext, that is, land larger than this, just now, has reached the minimum requirement of an earldom.

He thought of Viscount Whitnet, who was greedy for this. As a pioneer, he simply lost face to the pioneer.Such a large piece of land has been won after so many years.

However, this was obviously a misunderstanding by Duke Osborne. Before Roland entered the Evernight Forest, people could only see the Hengduan Mountains on the other side of the Evernight Forest.

They can't fly into the sky to see how big the Evernight Forest is. Just by looking at it this way, they will have an illusion that the other side of the Evernight Forest is the Hengduan Mountains, and there is no other land.

There are only common resources here, which are trees and prey, and the threat of trolls.

At the same time, Whitnet, who was a vassal of the Osborne family, had no idea of ​​attacking this piece of land.

As for the Osborn family itself, as early as when Whitnet II was loyal, he expressed his attitude that he would personally avenge his ancestors, and at the same time fulfill his last wish and take down the Evernight Forest.

The offspring who just sit back and enjoy the benefits have completely lost this idea.
